For some unknown reason Judith's voice touches my heart in a way no other singer does. It is filled with so much longing, like all great classical music.
Judith looks so incredibly cute in this picture. I feel so blessed to be able to still hear her phenominal sound. How lucky we were & are to have had sweet Judith walk this earth with us.
Absolutely agree. She was so kind, and when people acknowledged it and were kind to her (she was so sweet that you wanted to be kind), she gave it right back, and gave it to the audience. Great lady!
OMG, divine beautiful Judith, I have loved you since you were with The Seekers and I've just listened to "The Carnival Is Over", my favourite 60s song of ALL time, followed by your solos of "The Olive Tree" and "Catch the Wind" before bursting into tears, me a 71 years old man, at your heart-wrenching performance of "Danny Boy". RIP dear Judith, you will live on in the hearts of all of us who were so glad and happy to have had you, through your records, in our lives and where you will forever remain. David, Crouch End, London, N8.
I’ve been hooked for 55years Judith. You are without doubt a treasure to the world. I ve never met you, but feel I know you and understand you. All of this from your beautiful music
I believe it's true that everyone has an idea of a person they would have liked to know buried deep within their heart and whom they search for all their life. Some like myself are fortunate to actually see and hear that person in their walk through life. Judith Durham fulfilled that search. I honestly have been in love with her in most every way. From the 60's her pretty face was my vision of lovely beauty. Her special voice; the songs and music reached me and held my admiration and peacefully consoled. We have never met except in my mind and thru media, but if life would have been accommodating then she would be the one.
@@philipgundill237 I think if Judith had sung this with Donovan, it would be the supreme version, Judith is unforced and doesn't have to try to make you feel, i found Crystal Gale to be forced to the point of feeling fake. Then of course we have Judith's voice, probably the greatest female singer ever. Donovan really did feel this song, it must be very very personal for him, you can feel it when he sings, i really think Judith would've completely complemented him, she has a unique ability to harmonise a blend in with male voices.
If Judith sung this in her lower register then even Donovan would be trembling. I mean this is brilliant but I never would have imagine she would have sung it in her upper register, but of course she pulled it off as usual.
How coincidental that i was listening to Donovan yesterday and only just now heard Judith's lovely version. Too much of a good thing can lead one to be spoiled-like that's a bad thing. All hail the voice of the Goddess
How the HELL can this song be sang in her upper register and still sounds d so savage good. I'm dreaming now and trying to imagine what it would have sounded in her lower register??, could it be even more beautiful?? , is that even possible?? The power she injects in her upper register is quite astounding as most singers who sing there cannot match.
ALL songs in the world must be perfect on her voice. Doesn't matter the genre,Judith always sings with her heart and her versions will always bring me tears.
First time I have ever heard Judith Durham sing this Donovan Song and, as ever for this singer, it is ABSOLUTELY F--ING WONDERFUL!. I sincerely hope that Donovan loves it, too, because he should.
+Charles Butler Could not have said it better myself. I stray away sometimes but always come back to this magnificent rendition. Donovan's version was just another popsong of the swinging 60's but this is PURE GOLD !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wonderful, haunting and emotional version of a great song. Judith Durham certainly takes a place among all outstanding folk music performers. L-Å Hansson Sweden
Catch the Wind is my favorite Judith Durham song, even though it is a cover of Donovan. I don't think that Judith Durham, in her Seekers years, sang anything I don't like, but Catch the Wind is special.
I love to hear Donovan sing this song but it's just as great to hear Judith sing it.It's coming up to 47 years ago now since the song got released.......
I heard Donovan sing this. I thought it was really good. Then I heard THIS version ---- oh, MY! The moment her voice came on, I had chills! Great song for Judith!
@@douglasbrunt2675 It took a few days, but I followed through with your response. You're right. Some religious songs need to be done by that one singer that takes it above and beyond. This is one of those Thanks Douglas.
I like this version, as Judith's voice is always terrific, but my absolute favorite is Joan Baez and her late sister Mimi Farina's version. Their two beautiful voices sound like one. You can find their version on RUclips. Fortunately I don't have to choose, as I can listen to both songs on RUclips. I didn't even know Judith recorded this, so thanks much for posting it.
I didn't hear of her until a few months back, after she had already passed away :) Wonderful..yes. And I'm not just saying that. I've looked at other videos of her on RUclips and I agree.
I hope she will be in my next life to keep listening to her voice. I love her very much, even though I have never met her. God bless her now and beyond this life.
How I miss hearing Judith, her voice was something to behold. God bless you Judith, thank you lord for this angelic voice. ❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🇦🇺🇦🇺
Make me belive in angels. Wish the earth was filled with human as her. RIP JUDITH. YOU MADE THE WORLD A BETTER PLACE.❤
ther is but we cant sing
I remember when they first became popular during my college days. One of my favorite groups. Judith Durham has an amazing voice!
For some unknown reason Judith's voice touches my heart in a way no other singer does. It is filled with so much longing, like all great classical music.

She would be touched to hear this. Thx! ❤

played this at ny wifes funeral/30/4/21..love you always
G-d bless
What a lovely farewell. Blessings to you!
Always liked this song but never understood the words until beautiful Judith sang it so clearly
Judith's incomparable voice makes this cover a sound experience.
Ah, the voice that came from that tiny girl. Rest in peace, beautiful Judith.❤
She was 5 ft 2, which I don’t really notice except when she was with the Seekers. Even then it didn’t matter and she was so cute. Great lady!

Wow, what a comment! She would be so flattered and speechless.
Mate, all i can say is stand in line! There aren't enough superlatives to describe such a lady!
one of the many benefits of growing up in the 60s was being able to Judith Durham for a lifetime
I always think of my beautiful late mum when l hear Judith sing makes me cry hearing her songs 😂😂😂
Lost mum 2009 to cancer 😂😂😂
Thank you judith for the joy you gave us RIP 😢😊
Sung beautiful. What a lovely voice. Will never find another you.🎼🎶🎶🎶🇬🇧🇬🇧🥲
A fabulous singer from Oz. Privileged to see her live in Glasgow quite a few years ago.
Beautiful voice and beautiful song
She makes me feel life is worth while after all❤
There will never be another Judith Durham. Beautiful and wonderful woman. She is gorgeous! And incredible voice!!
What a beautiful voice and beautiful lady!
She sure was!
Shure miss her, we will always have her music, she was one of a kind...
Classical Judith Durham. Just perfection. The best female vocalist ever. Awesome range and control.
Brilliant and stunning at the same time. Wistful Donovan cover both have their pluses, but for sheer beauty this takes the buscuit.
But it's not as poignant as Donovan and Crystal Gayle.

A beautiful singer with a beautiful voice singing a beautiful song. What more can you ask for.
Well said! Beautiful woman all around!
I can't say who had the greatest female voice but I can say that Judith is definitely way up there in the conversation...
I and millions of others can, Judith stands alone!
What a voice! She has always been lovely. She fills my eyes with tears as memories come flooding back over the years

@Jonathan Pickering totally inappropriate
Her voice despite her illness a few years ago, is as good as ever.
Amazing that she had a lifelong lung condition and yet her voice was always incredible!
Crystal voice, and a lot of soul! Thanks, sweet Judith, to spread love, with your singing!
How the HELL can this song be sang in her upper register and still sounds d so savage good.
I'm dreaming now and trying to imagine what it would have sounded in her lower register??, could it be even more beautiful?? , is that even possible??
The power she injects in her upper register is quite astounding as most singers who sing there cannot match.
I go wobbly at the knees whenever I hear JD sing this wonderful song.
ALL songs in the world must be perfect on her voice. Doesn't matter the genre,Judith always sings with her heart and her versions will always bring me tears.
Another Judith special, she sings perfection.
judith has a voice where all she sings, come out perfect....she brings peace to a mind
this was my choice for my wifes funeral april 2021..judiths beautiful voice....both forever in my heart
I wish I've known you sooner now your gone thanks for sharing your gift to us all
Judith je kouzelná, nejlepší ze všech.
Judith Durham is extraordinary.
Her elocution, is flawless Timing under control and a Great Voice.
June 2024 and I'm HEARING the words for the first time. Bawling my eyes out too. ❤
First time I have ever heard Judith Durham sing this Donovan Song and, as ever for this singer, it is ABSOLUTELY F--ING WONDERFUL!. I sincerely hope that Donovan loves it, too, because he should.
The voice of an angel god bless you judith ❤
If angels could sing, they would want to sound like Judith. She has blessed us with her voice for so many years. We all love her.

Well done Judith all ways the best
I shutter to wonder, how many millions of men have a crush on Judith? I'm one from the USA
@111sienna Amen, one of my favs that Judith recorded was the Lord prayer, a masterpiece
No crush...I really love her (don't tell my wife)
@@terrypfahlert2177 me two
@@terrypfahlert2177 I will tell you, her version of the Lords Prayer was music from Heaven.

Stunning vocal
Not many could cover this fab song, but Judith absolutely owns it.Beautiful.
I don’t think anyone can sing this better!
a beautiful voice as clear as crystal,love you judith.xxx.
It’s 11:15pm, May 31, 2021. I’ve never heard of her. (Heck, I’d never heard of John Prine until 3 years ago.) She’s wonderful.
I didn't hear of her until a few months back, after she had already passed away :) Wonderful..yes. And I'm not just saying that. I've looked at other videos of her on RUclips and I agree.
Absolutely brilliant.
100% !!!
Love the hat Judith.
awesome song.... Judith is magnificent... she has a voice given by God....
Gods angel ilove you
I hope she will be in my next life to keep listening to her voice. I love her very much, even though I have never met her. God bless her now and beyond this life.
I would've given my left knacker to hear her sing this with Donovan. That would've been sensational
Love the strings, guitar work, apart from her amazing voice
Beauty.
Bravo, Judith
I was expecting "Eres Tu" Catch the Wind (Simon & Garfunkel)...but still impossible to be disappointed when Dame Judith sings!
This voice gives me the heebie - jeebies. Wish I could have seen and listened to her live. I hope her health is good and she has a good life.
Very very nice!
Let's get a million views for this special lady
And on the 7th day God said I am going to take a break from rest and create Judith.
August 2025 ❤️😢🙏🏻🇨🇦

A nice rendition and as much as I love her voice, Donovan sings it with such an aching longing feeling.
Wonderful!
She has a pure voice .Joan Baez has a voice very much the same
Joan Baez was not even close as far as voice goes
Judith,
For standin' in your heart
Is where I want to be
And long to be,
Ah, but I may as well try and catch the wind.
cool...greetings from 2 musicians (sitar&tanpura) from germany ........(maria&harald,road to himalaya).....
I would think that Donovan might have thought, oh, Judith.
Where are you now, Judith?
